Oasis of Life

Oasis of Life is the orphanage founded by Pastor Henry Nsubuga in Uganda, Africa. This is the orphanage Pastor Bill and I will be visiting while we are there in January, as well as preaching, teaching and ministering at a pastors conference Pastor Henry's church is hosting. I want to take just a moment in this post to share with you the beautiful children at Oasis of Life to give you a glimpse into what this upcoming trip will be about. You may also visit their website to learn more about this mission.

I am getting more excited as each day draws closer to heading out on this trip.

Peaceful Reality

With each day that goes by, each task that gets checked off and each thought of what is coming; the reality of this trip sinks in a little deeper. However, there is no fear nor anxiousness for this coming reality but rather increasing peace and reassurance that comes from God.


In just the last week some friends of ours lost a friend who died in a car accident while on a mission trip to Uganda. For a brief moment this did bring some thoughts of doubt or fear, but then just as quickly a sense of peace comes from the Lord. We grieve the loss with our friends but also remain strong in the Lord as He reassures us that this is the time He has set for the fulfillment of a dream He planted in my heart more than eight years ago.


"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10


God is always faithful and continues to prepare the way!
